We observe $n$ independent pairs of random variables $(W_{i}, Y_{i})$, where the conditional distribution of $Y_{i}$ given $W_{i}=w_{i}$ follows a one-parameter exponential family with parameter $\bsg^{*}(w_{i})\in\R$. Our goal is to…
We collect robust proposals given in the field of regression models with heteroscedastic errors. Our motivation stems from the fact that the practitioner frequently faces the confluence of two phenomena in the context of data analysis:…
